the leader of the sort of face of their movement he often now fails to see eye to eye with fellow activists most recently at a funeral of another activist scuffles broke out between about so and fellow protesters because they were so upset he was trying to use the funeral as a p r platform take a look at the scuffles now he's under house arrest but being arrested has really become somewhat of both so if you could say he's been taken into jail without detention twelve times in the last twelve months will now see how being under house arrest for those travel restrictions and the violations plays out. and we will of course be keeping a close watch on the story online head to our to dot com to learn of the latest arrest may be a signal for the russian opposition to brace itself for further tension with the government. while unemployment rises in the u.k. and wages are being cut the house of commons has announced a vacancy for

a new dream job and the lawmakers are looking to use taxpayers' cash to pay for their caffeine fix parties paula boyko is in london and has more on what some are calling a case of cups and robbers. well the house of commons is looking for someone to join their team of burma reste is to basically serve hot fancy beverages to politicians now the job pays overt twenty thousand pounds per year which to put into context for our international viewers is over thirty thousand dollars per year if we compare that job to other public sector jobs we've got policeman whose salaries have recently been cut starting salaries they now start on nineteen thousand pounds a year similarly with soldiers who start on over seventy in just over seventeen thousand pounds per year so you've got frontline jobs that carry risks to your life the people who are detecting the safety of british citizens that are being paid less than somebody who's serving coffee to politicians one of the police federation

representatives took to twitter to ask where they could apply for such a nice restart job in parliament because it's obviously a lot safer and it's paying more than some of the frontline police officers but i spoke to the former editor of the police review to find out what the morale all is like among the police officers amidst these revelations well moral is already rock bottom amongst police officers anywhere as is because of this tax on their pay and conditions of their pensions and then they find out as you say the politicians who could like the rest of us make coffee themselves and let's not let's remember that the coffee they have will be heavily subsidized by the taxpayers a lot of people's wages being either frozen or slashed just like the police officers we hit the streets of london a little bit earlier to find out whether people in london think that someone who serves coffee to politicians should be making more money than

a front line police officer let's take a look at my coffee twenty grand rounds of commons where do i saw it. all just go from washington research coffee game here. you know probably no sir i said drinks night against the night is basically a kick in the growing because they're just being ridiculous and they have a type and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing something that shows just how out of touch the politicians are with the problems of ordinary brits and of course not critics saying that with the austerity measures we buy saying for a lot of people in the u.k. and politicians have made do with a capsule of boiling water and some instant coffee what can we say it takes coffee to run a government with more news coming for you after this break you're watching are today.

country to the bank. a great deal. with the presidency. because. europe and. the germans. you have. all you have a breakup of. problems. and then great crowds on the streets of ireland may spoil the mood of e.u. leaders celebrated in a historic budget deal cutting the block spending for the first time ever the parliament's turn to have its final say on the agreement and the m.e.p. looks set to block the budget plan after a secret vote in what is seen as

a revolt against leaders of mr james midway weighs in. constitutionally they're well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this now whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print of the budget already present to you parliament to said he would be able to support the steel and the heads of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said that they would like them to be supported so it's going to be a rocky ride i think this budget over the next few months cameron's right to talk about this being like a reduction in a credit card limits and of course you can have your credit card limit reduced and still spend on spending more money now that's almost certainly what's going to happen to britain over the next few years the amounts that britain is expected to pay into the main e.u. fund will increase as a result of increased payments to a new member countries so he's going to pretend that this will show how britain can still be a force in europe how we can push the rest of europe around this glosses over the

fact of course that he would have got anywhere in this without the support of the angle of merkel in particular so he can he can try to push that line that you know he knows what he's doing to europe and that we don't need to go so far as to step out of the european union but i wouldn't see the more euro skeptic members of his own party being particularly impressed by any of this. the rate fixing of banks in britain is the subject of an expanding investigation into just how widespread the practice was artie's max kaiser will be looking at the issue in depth next hour but here's a preview. i'm going to avoid the t word for today just for variety i mean if i thought the t. word is being prosecuted in this country or america i would imagine if i thought that our drone sent up a stink frank jenkins over at barclays bank and exploded innocent passenger splattered on the wall i thought that would have any effect if i thought the guardian would give a flying shit about their own population i would mention the t word but i don't know because they don't. as the political crisis

that this easily disintegrate into some kind of civil war going to hopefully it won't happen and we remain to watch to see how the popular movements organize to prevent one of those frightening scene used to external support for example by the qatari government all the right wing fundamentalists and it remains to be seen whether they've got the present government will take any action against these terrorist groups and it is been almost two years since anti-rejection protests broke out in another country involved in the arab spring bahrain there the government and the opposition have finally agreed to resume dialogue he's alexy airshaft good looks into how dissent is being gagged in the country. if you look through any pro-government newspaper in bahrain you'll get an impression that the government has nothing to hide the news of an uprising of the opposition is dominating the front page and if you look through it you'll see other stories about

the political discourse in the country the country's information minister insists bahrain has no problems with people speaking out. for if in freedom of expression and our allies are very high because it is guaranteed by the constitution moreover there is a lot to be issued so that further guarantees yes we have a problem related to banning some websites but that's to protect bahrain from six here in africa problems in violence and not any other reason. but this is what happened when we tried several opposition websites having looked through these pages later we did not notice any extremist overtones and so you see from bahrain center for human rights believes the government is deliberately attempting to silence views different to its own balance and therefore a moderate which i work for website is a blog we have almost more than four hundred website out of the most of them are

human rights. political website although of certain beheaded our block we have only facebook and twitter there are many which is not a blog site yet spoke to us on the back over two week prison term for what was called breaking the law on public gatherings several weeks later he was arrested again the editor in chief of bahrain the only independent newspaper says this is how things are in his country if you speak out if you express yourself you are expressing yourself at your own risks people are brave enough now to speak out but they do that and they could be punished one day you could be put in jail you could end up like an a builder job three years because if you tweeted something. social networking came of age during the uprisings of recent years a fact not lost on bahrain's leaders who have watched almost daily street protests and an unusual drop in web traffic through the country picked up by an american
